Video: Watch Conor McGregor walked out by NYPD after charges filed in UFC 223 bus attack incident

Conor McGregor, presumably in handcuffs with his hands behind his back, was escorted out of the 78th Precinct building of the New York Police Department today and into a waiting car.

Video posted to Twitter shows McGregor leaving the building, being led by an NYPD official, in the aftermath of charges being filed against him in the wake of a Thursday incident at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

McGregor has been charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief after Thursday’s incident. McGregor turned himself in to the NYPD overnight and is expected to appear in front of a judge today.

McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) on Thursday showed up at Barclays Center, which will play host to UFC 223 on Saturday, and allegedly was let into the facility by credentialed media members that UFC President Dana White said were from TheMacLife.com – McGregor’s website. Once inside, McGregor, along with members of his team – including UFC 223 fighter and teammate Artem Lobov – reportedly managed to make their way to the loading dock.

Once there, chaos ensued when McGregor and his entourage can be seen on video going after a bus loaded with UFC 223 fighters, fighter teams and promotion personnel in pursuit of headliner Khabib Nurmagomedov (25-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC), who was scheduled to take on featherweight champion Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) in the main event before Holloway today was declared medically unfit to fight.

McGregor can be seen on eyewitness videos attempting to throw a security barricade at the bus. After he was stopped, he picked up a wheeled dolly, video shows, and threw it at the bus window. It shattered the window, and the broken glass cut up the head and face of lightweight fighter Michael Chiesa and sent glass into the eyes of flyweight Ray Borg, UFC officials said.

In the aftermath, Chiesa (14-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) was ruled out of his main-card fight against Anthony Pettis (20-7 MMA, 7-6 UFC) due to the cuts. Borg (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC), too, was removed from his fight against Brandon Moreno (14-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) on the prelims. In addition, White already had removed Lobov (13-14-1 MMA, 2-4 UFC) from his featherweight fight against Alex Caceres (13-11 MMA, 8-9 UFC) for his alleged participation in the attack.

That means three fights in total were scrapped as a result of McGregor and his crew’s alleged attack on the bus, taking the event from 13 fights to 10 just two days before the show.

Wednesday, Lobov had an altercation with Nurmagomedov, and that may be what set the incident into motion more than anything else.

White told reporters in Brooklyn the attack on the bus was “the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in the history of the company.” The UFC issued a statement late Thursday that said consequences will follow.

White also said today McGregor shouldn’t expect any help from him.

“Normally, yes – I would dive right in and do everything in my power to help one of my guys,” White today said told ESPN hosts Michelle Beadle and Mike Greenberg on the “Get Up” morning news show. “But not in this situation. He came into the Barclays Center, attacked our fighters, and attacked my staff with a bunch of guys – no. You don’t get my help on this one.”

UFC 223 will take place Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The main card will air on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
